How do you solve a problem like Mario?

Turkish, I'm sure that your beloved company would like to have that problem, Mario.

Did you bother to actually read the article or did you just see the title and use it to leverage an insult towards Sony/Turkish?

I've read the article another time, to see if I missed something, and I don't see the problem. 2D Mario is the pinnacle of platform games, the only problem I see here is the double standards the press has with some games, and too much games in a short period of time due to the launch of two new consoles, but that doesn't mean reduced metacritic averages for other franchises, the so called "hardcore" franchises that get a pass whatever they do. I've never seen so much criticism in the press to yearly franchises. It's funny that the media considers Mario a problem, when Mario games (plus MH3D in Japan) are the main reason why the 3DS is selling.

The article mentions reduced sales, and I'm saying that Sony would love to have an equivalent to Mario, even with reduced sales, to lift Vita sales. It's funny that one of the most recognized Sony fans on this forum opens a thread to criticize Mario sales, when Sony has a much bigger problem with Vita sales. Only that.
